Na'Tasha Thompson was one of three people injured, police say, when two gunmen approached a group gathered on South Salcedo Street and opened fire.

The other two victims, 15 and 16-year-old boys, were shot multiple times. The 15-year-old was treated and released from Interim LSU Hospital on Tuesday. His 16-year-old cousin remained hospitalized Wednesday night.

According to Na'Tasha's mother, the toddler spent the night in the intensive care unit but is now breathing on her own and responding to voice commands with her hands. Wednesday afternoon, doctors transferred Na'Tasha to Children's Hospital Uptown.

"I'm remaining positive, but I wouldn't wish this on any parent," said LaTasha Thompson, the toddler's mother.

Thompson said her family has already dealt with tragedy. In March 2010, Na'Tasha's father was shot and killed in Hollygrove several months before the birth of his daughter.

"It's hard, it really is," Thompson said. "When people get a phone call like that, everybody automatically assumes the worst."

"That's a little baby, you know, her body's so small," said Thompson.

Now she's calling on the community to come forward with information about the shooting that nearly killed her daughter.

Police say the shooters got away in a white 2008 Nissan Murano.

Anyone with information about the shooting should call Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
